In the last years the economic crisis has led to high levels of youth unemployment and thus disengagement

among young people. As a consequence, the European Union is facing one of its greatest challenge in terms

of youth unemployment. In light of this, European officials have sought new ways of monitoring and

analysing the prevalence of labour market vulnerability and disengagement among young people, aiming to

effectively engage as many of Europe’s young people as possible in the world of work. This aim become the

heart of the EU policy agenda, special attention being given to provide youth with employment and training

opportunities in order to strengthen their skills and knowledge to be adapted to new work situations. A

special attention is given to the NEETs category facilitating their access to the labour market.

In this new situation and changing world, soft skills are important skills which lead to the success to enter

the labour market. Employers are not looking only for theoretic knowledge known as hard skills, they are

focusing now on competences and soft skills as team work, effective communication, time and conflict

management, work under pressure which definitively influence if a person is hired.

In this context our training course aims to provide youth workers who work with unemployed young people,

especially NEETs, with necessary skills and tools to help young people to enter the labour market and to

raise the level of employment among them.

To improve the level of knowledge of young workers in the area of employability and soft skills in

order to promote participation to the labour market;

To develop soft skills of youth workers in order to facilitate the entry of young people, especially

NEETs, to labor market and broaden future perspectives;

To improve the quality of youth work in favour of young people;

To empower youth workers with new tools in the area of youth employability, especially NEETs;

To understand the dynamics of labor market and the skills that young people need in the new

working context.
